Memories and Condolences
for Edward MATTTHEWS
GySgt. Ed Androlones, USMC, Retired
June 27, 2023
Ed and Lida visited with me at my home in Sebastian, Florida, shortly before his passing. I couldn't get him to relax. He had to be busy doing things. He climed my roof, and had to clean the leaves from my gutters. He wanted to do all the cooking. He had to have cast iron pans to cook with. I didn't have any. He chastised me for not having any. "You don't have cast iron pans"?
what kind of a cook are you? He sure was a stickler for those cast iron fry pans. he went to Walmart, and bought me two sizes of cast iron pans, of which I still have today, in his memory. That insident will always be one of my most fondest memories of him. Mat God rest his soul.

I only knew Eddie as a face in the Plainville YMCA, with a smile, a joke, a story but always upbeat and pleasant. He would always share a boating, fishing, diving story that was a highlight of the day.He will be missed and I extend my deepest sympathy to his entire family

Dear Lida, Karen, Tammy, and Family;
We were saddened to hear of Ed's passing.
My fondest, and last memory of him, was when you and Ed visited, and stayed with us, at our home in Florida. Ed was not one to remain idle. He climbed up on my roof, without any regard for his safety, and cleaned out all my rain drains. He was that kind of a guy. May God rest his good soul. Our love to you.

Dear Lida and family,
What a great picture of Ed! We've never known anyone who was as determined to beat this disease with the dignity and courage that Ed did. One's fight for life is incredible and I'm sure he wanted to grasp every minute of the time hd had left with all of you! It was all meant to be that you came into each other's lives. We'll never forget your beautiful wedding. So much love you have for each other!
I know that Ed is snorkeling somewhere in the setting sun and at peace. There's much comfort in knowing that he and Balla are together revisiting all the memories you made while they were both here. He will never leave you.
You all were so devoted to his care. There's alot of comfort in knowing you did everything you could to help him.
We will be holding you in our thoughts and prayers.
Love,
Chris,Doug, Douglas, Kylee, Neil & Kip
